Casters to Increase Portability

Office life is fast paced, and casters help your employees keep up with chairs, tables and carts that roll freely. Replace old casters to improve the mobility of various wheeled office furniture, or add casters on pieces that didn't originally come with them to make them easier to move. From gliding in your chair to rearranging tables easily, casters make office life easier.

Keep Things Rolling Smoothly

Does your rolling office furniture no longer roll like it should? Replacement casters restore tables, chairs and other portable office furniture to their glory days. Casters are different than plain wheels because they come with the wheels mounted inside the house. Swapping old casters with new ones is relatively simple, but don't assume that all casters works for your furniture. Check the stem type of the current casters to get a replacement that matches. If your furniture comes ready for casters but didn't include them, check the directions to determine the correct type of caster.

Tune Into the Details

One wheel or two, hooded or not hooded, hard tread or soft: casters come with more details than you might realize. Look to your existing casters for guidance on which route to choose. Some casters have extra features, such as a safety feature that only allows the wheels to move on a chair when you are seated. This keeps chairs from rolling around on their own on bare floors. Check the weight limit of the casters so they accommodate the weight of the furniture plus the weight of the user in the case of chairs.
